datalog: dl-magic-query driver (204/204)
End-to-end magic-sets entry point. Given (db, query-goal):
  - copies the caller's EDB facts (relations not headed by any
    rule) into a fresh internal db
  - adds the magic seed fact
  - adds the rewritten rules
  - saturates and runs the query
  - returns the substitution list

Caller's db is untouched. Equivalent to dl-query for any
fully-stratifiable program; intended as a perf alternative on
goal-shaped queries against large recursive relations.

2 new tests: equivalence to dl-query on chain-3 ancestor, and
non-mutation of the caller's db (rules count unchanged).

;; lib/datalog/magic.sx — adornment analysis + sideways info passing.
;;
;; First step of the magic-sets transformation (Phase 6). Right now
;; the saturator does not consume these — they are introspection
;; helpers that future magic-set rewriting will build on top of.
;;
;; Definitions:
;; - An *adornment* of an n-ary literal is an n-character string
;; of "b" (bound — value already known at the call site) and
;; "f" (free — to be derived).
;; - SIPS (Sideways Information Passing Strategy) walks the body
;; of an adorned rule left-to-right tracking which variables
;; have been bound so far, computing each body literal's
;; adornment in turn.
;;
;; Usage:
;;
;; (dl-adorn-goal '(ancestor tom X))
;; => "bf"
;;
;; (dl-rule-sips
;; {:head (ancestor X Z)
;; :body ((parent X Y) (ancestor Y Z))}
;; "bf")
;; => ({:lit (parent X Y) :adornment "bf"}
;; {:lit (ancestor Y Z) :adornment "bf"})
